An update
« on: June 30, 2009, 09:42:20 AM »

A brief update ... we've entered something of a 'behind the scenes' period;  the support pledge brought in nearly 700 names (over 750 if I also count those people who signed but didn't click on their confirmation email) ... and that accounts for a very lareg number of journeys per annum.

Rather than blow trumpets and bang drums, we've been working behind the scenes with all this support to back us up. 

A late May meeting had elements - but oh such tiny elements - of movement, but it was the first time we had all the major key players in a room together, and with TransWilts top of the agenda.

June brought the Wiltshire Unitary election, and later in the month a new portfolio holder looking after tourism, travel and transport; this will allow us to move onward now (at the May meeting, the Wilsthire representative was rightly saying 'I must refer on to whoever takes over from me')

And in July we should be meeting this new team.   I have to say that I'm optimistic that they'll be aligned with our aims, and I hope to be able to report positive initial meetings - and more in public - in the middle of the month
